When you're setting up a pressure flow process measurement station, the first decision is which tool actually matches the job: a gas regulator for welding or a turbine flow meter for liquid lines. Pick the wrong one and you either overpay for a process meter you don't need or underbuild a setup that can't measure flow. These two options sit at opposite ends of that choice.
Quick Verdict
For welding gas delivery, choose the Mig Tig Flow Meter Regulator. For process-liquid flow measurement, choose the Blancett B111-120 Model 1100 Turbine Flow Meter.

- Blancett B111-120: The right choice when you need a calibrated flow meter for a liquid process line.
Product Notes
Mig Tig Flow Meter Regulator Argon CO2 Gas Welder Welding Weld Regulator Gauge
Pick this if your task is welding with argon or CO2 shielding gas. It's listed as a welding flow meter regulator, and the compatible gases are argon and carbon dioxide, which covers common MIG and TIG shielding setups. The $27.59 price keeps the entry cost low for a shop that needs a dedicated gas regulator without extra process-meter complexity. The main limitation is scope: this is a gas regulator for welding, not a flow meter for liquid process lines. If you need to measure water or oil moving through a pipe, this isn't the tool. For gas-fed welding, it gives you a gas regulator option.
Blancett B111-120 Model 1100 Turbine Flow Meter 2" NPT 40-400 GPM 316SS NEW
Choose this when you need to measure liquid flow in a 2-inch line. The Blancett B111-120 is a Model 1100 turbine flow meter with 2" NPT female end connections, a 316L stainless steel body, and a 40-400 GPM measuring range. It ships with a factory K-Factor calibration label, which is important for translating the pickup signal into flow rate. It's aimed at oil and gas, produced/injection water, and industrial process applications. The limitation is the condition and sales terms: it is new open-box and sold as-is with no returns. It is a process meter, not a welding gas regulator. If your work involves live liquid lines, this is the tool.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For MIG/TIG welding: Choose the Mig Tig Flow Meter Regulator. It's the focused option for this type of work.
- For process-liquid flow measurement: Choose the Blancett B111-120 Model 1100 Turbine Flow Meter. It's built for the job.
